Hello, I didn’t find any API about a list of running processes about snapshot api. Is there an endpoint to get a list of snapshots that are running?

Thank you

Hi there,

When you execute Snapshot actions, it returns an action ID.

Then you can use this Action ID and retrieve the status of the action. You can take a look at the actions documentation here:

For more details I would recommend taking a look at this very good answer here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
